Pattern Description: MISSES' TOP: Fitted top has raised waist/hemline variations and narrow hem. A and B: back zipper. C: pullover, wrong side shows (back hemline), back neck slit with hook/eye closing. B and C: stitched hems on sleeves.

Pattern Sizing: 8-24

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes,

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I Like the peplum and neckline very much. I also like how easy this was to sew.

No dislikes.

Fabric Used: Something from my stash. Mid-weight whatever it is. I need to get better about keeping records or have a smaller stash.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
- Added 3/4" to the bodice.

- Removed 3/4" from the peplum.

- Made the bias for the neckline out of the same fabric instead of using packaged bias as recommended on the pattern.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? If I make another peplum top I'm definitely using this pattern. I would recommend this pattern to others.

Conclusion: I'm pleased with the fit on this top. The skirt is my TNT pencil skirt Butterick 5466

Gorgeous! Love the top alteration. I've made this top and yes seems short waisted with the peplum being too long.
